Inventing Mary Martin

What?  From the show website:  "Inventing Mary Martin is the World Premiere multi-media celebration of the life and career of one of Broadway’s greatest stars.  Mary Martin created leading roles in One Touch of Venus, South Pacific, The Sound of Music and Peter Pan and became one of the most glamorous and beloved star of the American musical theatre, constantly reinventing herself along the way.  In this "revue of a lifetime', four fabulous performers, none of whom actually plays Mary (who could?) take us on her amazing journey from naive but ambitious Texan to Hollywood star to Broadway legend.  Conceived, written and co-directed by award-winning musical theatre writer Stephen Cole, with musical arrangements by Broadway and film veteran David Krane, Inventing Mary Martin shines a spotlight on the magic that is Mary Martin.  Imagine Side by Side by Sondheim meets Ain’t Misbehavin' with songs by Cole Porter, Rodgers & Hammerstein, Kurt Weill, Jule Styne, Jones and Schmidt and other musical giants of the Golden Age of Broadway; Inventing Mary Martin takes us back to a time when stopping the show with a saucy but innocent striptease in “My Heart Belongs to Daddy” could turn a novice into a legend."

The Substance of Fire

What?  From the show website:  "From the acclaimed playwright of Other Desert Cities, comes a story of a family bound by a proud past but facing an uncertain future.

Faced with a changing literary landscape and potential takeover of the company, the Geldhart children must either come to terms with their father and band together or break apart and forfeit the legacy he risked everything to build. Articulate and blessed with a lifesaving and cutting sense of humor, Isaac fights like a man with nothing to lose."

Under My Skin

What?  From the show website:  "Take the dashing CEO of America’s leading healthcare provider, a single Mom from Staten Island, and an outrageous twist of fate and you’ve got the makings of a sexy and outrageous new comedy, UNDER MY SKIN.
It’s the uproarious out-of-body experience that brings “he said, she said” to a whole new level and proves a man can’t really understand the opposite sex until he’s walked a mile in someone else’s stilettos."

Cabaret

What?  From the show website:  ""A Broadway jewel returns in all its glittering glory!" (Time Out New York). ALAN CUMMING ("The Good Wife," Roundabout's The Threepenny Opera) reprises his Tony®-winning performance as the Emcee in SAM MENDES (Skyfall, American Beauty) and ROB MARSHALL's (Nine and Chicago, the films) Tony-winning production of CABARET. Three-time Academy Award® nominee MICHELLE WILLIAMS (My Week with Marilyn, Brokeback Mountain) also stars, making her Broadway debut as Sally Bowles, alongside Tony nominees DANNY BURSTEIN (Follies) and LINDA EMOND (Death of a Salesman).

Welcome to the infamous Kit Kat Klub, where the Emcee, Sally Bowles and a raucous ensemble take the stage nightly to tantalize the crowd—and to leave their troubles outside. But as life in pre-WWII Germany grows more and more uncertain, will the decadent allure of Berlin nightlife be enough to get them through their dangerous times?

Come hear some of the most memorable songs in theatre history, including "Cabaret," "Willkommen" and "Maybe This Time." Right this way, your table's waiting at CABARET, John Kander, Fred Ebb and Joe Masteroff's Tony-winning musical that the New York Post calls "one for the ages."
